Chloé has up to a size 42, and I am a true 41 and do fit in the Prince boots. However, the Prince pumps I bought are too small. And I do look rediculous in flats, since I am very thin, with huge feet. Looks awfull. How do you feel about flats?

Does anyone else here find European sizes scary? I bought a pair of some cute flat boots in Spain. I asked for a 40 but that was WAY too small (didn't know US/European sizing at the time) so I asked for 42 or 43 but the lady gave me a weird look and brought a 41 (Which is an European sized 11, right?). The boot was snug but they were cheap and I really wanted them so I bought them.

I shouldn't have. I can't wear socks with them and if I wear them barefooted, my big toes hurt. Am I more of a 42 or 43? I guess I should be more aware next time.

Until a couple of years ago, US10=Euro41 was the rule. Now they're squinching on sizes, and calling Euro40 a 10. 'Tain't so!
And then there's the matter of width, which is even worse, since few offer a choice.
The ultimate insult is "full sizes only"!!!
